While she was here, she stayed with Mr. and Mrs. Robert Thompson, Cindy, Julie, and Chris. Not only did the Thompsons enjoy having Joy live with them, but PHS students enjoyed meeting and knowing a real Australian. PHS will always welcome you, Joy, so hurry back! I Oh no, not me again! sighs Joy as she busily mends a curtain for the fall play. Joy's family: Ian, Johanna (niece). Mum, Dad, and Matthew (nephew).

Anna—American Field Anna-Elisabeth Kravik, in her native Norwegian costume. My parents live in a very beautiful area near Nisser lake. The lake is surrounded by mountains, a lot of wood and small lakes. The district is a typical farming and lumbering area. There are not too many people here, but the people who are living here are very friendly and relaxed. My father works in a hydroelectric power station. My oldest brother, Steinar, is attending an engineering school. Last summer, just before I came to the U.S., my other brother, Morten, got married. They live in Porsgrunn, where they work and go to school. I have one sister, Aasta, who goes to school. Anna-Elisabeth's family in Norway. Front row: Aasta, Astrid, Anna-Elisabeth Kravik. Back row: Steinar, Asbjorn, and Morten. 16

Bringing in the Boar's head. Vicki Corning and Chuck Tuggle. Serving the Queen and her court. Singers and dancers-Kathy Carson and Ted Beer. How's this for a new thing? The cafeteria is transformed into the throne room of the English palace; high school students become the Queen's court, and Theresa Tucker turns out to be Queen Elizabeth, herself. What is it? Why, it’s Madrigals, of course; the old-time English singers and dancers are back, under the direction of Mrs. Mary Ann Beer. At the two Madrigal Banquets, guests were served such food as Roast Beef au Jus, Flaming Plum Pudding, and Wassail. The banquet was complete with a boar's head, singers, dancers, musicians, waitresses, and Elizabethan costumes. Did you miss it this year? Well, with luck you can attend next year. Left: Sponsor, Mrs. Beer. Center: Queen Elizabeth-Teresa Tucker. Right: Jester-Hilary Kaye.
